clean-downloads
This has solved the eternal “there’s 3GB of stuff in my Downloads directory that I don’t feel comfortable deleting” problem for me:
$ crontab -l
0 * * * * /Users/patrick/Binaries/clean-downloads
$ cat Binaries/clean-downloads
#!/bin/zsh
find ~/Downloads -maxdepth 1 -amin +720 -exec mv {} ~/.Trash \;
You have twelve hours to do something with whatever it is you downloaded, or it’ll end up in the Trash. I highly recommend it.
